The Daily Bruin

The Students for Innovation, Design, and Entrepreneurship (S.I.D.E.) are hosting an exciting event on Saturday, Feb. 13. Side Quest will be a day dedicated to rapid innovation and creativity. If you want to have fun inventing for a day (and the chance to win some cash) you should participate in this event!

Registration for Side Quest is now open. Teams can have between three and eight members, two of whom need to be from each the College of Engineering and the College of Business. You can also register as an individual and we (S.I.D.E.) will try to place you in a team. However, registered teams have priority over individual registrations, so being on a team is more likely to guarantee your participation.

Get your team fast because we are limiting the event to 12 teams. Registration will proceed on a first-come, first-served basis. Teams and individuals that will be participating will be informed through an email after registration has closed (which is whenever we get enough teams, so it could be any day before Feb. 13).

Join us for the first Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture of the semester this Monday, Jan. 25, when Gregg Koskela, a George Fox alumnus and pastor at Newberg Friends Church, speaks on the topic “Free, Embrace or Sift? Taking Back Agency as a Christian in Pop Culture” in Hoover 105. The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

We can fear the media around us, giving it power as we fear its corrupting influence. We can swim and breathe in it, thoughtlessly allowing it to define us. Or we can look for how our creative God is bubbling up through all kinds of human creativity, being mindful of the ways music, movies and other media encourage or discourage the pursuit of God’s good life. Gregg will argue for the third.

The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “Christianity and Pop Culture.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.
